When packaging a project, anyone encountered "Cannot copy necessary linked file(s)"? Then the process just stops.
Which Adobe application are you using? This will allow me to move this message thread to relevant product specific forum.
InDesign CS5.5.
I apologize, I'm new to the forum; didn't notice the forum title, it's so confusing on those websites sometimes, I get lost!
And, thank you!
No worries Barnstorm. I have moved this discussion over to the InDesign forum. The users in this forum should be able to assist you with your difficulties.
I have seen this error to appear when there are some special characters like "/ ", "\ " etc. in the file name of the links.
Ex: Sample\test.ai has the "\" in the name of the file
So , rename these files and remove the special characters , re-link and then it should work fine.
Thanks Manish-Sharma, I will try that.
I do think that would be a good fix for Adobe to develop & release in an update...SOON!! But apparently, this problem has existed for some time...some of the posts go back a few years.
What version of ID, and what OS are you using?
ID5.5 and OS X 10.7.4
Is ID patched to 7.5.3?
There was a bug, but my recollection is it was in CS5, not CS5.5, but you should update just to be sure.
And the advice about special characters is very much on-point. Spaces, and extremely long paths, can also sometimes cause problems.
Thanks for the advice, but update did not help. Am experimenting w/links, but most of the links that look like they could be a problem, have been packaged before in many other projects. It's a mystery so far.
I still have that gut feel that it is the special character problem in the file name.
Can you provide the screen shot of the folder where you have the links file present , with there complete file name.
I see at least two names contain a '+' sign -- a likely candidate to cause problems.
Yes, those are files, like I mentioned, that have been copied numerous times already, without incident, no problem. Thanks anyway. Could they just start to be an issue, after having been used successfully so many times?
Sure…that's why you shouldn't use special characters in file nanes.
The slashes would kill a crossplatform workflow, as well.
That was it, Bob, the slash in the file name. I've never had that problem yet, but have now discarded & replaced all of those files w/slash. THANKS!
Just wanted to say thanks. This thread solved my problem as well. I had a link with a slash in the filename and I couldn't package the document. I had packaged that link previously and it worked, but whatever. Renamed the file and the document packaged fine. Thanks Bob.
Me too, I had to go back over 1000 files and remove all commas, plus signs, ampersands, colons, apostrophes and slashes to make my InDesign file Package - but it finally worked! Thanks.

City of Providence to host the recycling event in partnership with
Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation's Eco-Depot and the
Roger Williams Park Zoo chapter of Jane Goodall's Roots and Shoots
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (February 19, 2013) – Seven teenaged members of the Roger Williams Park Zoo chapter of Jane Goodall's Roots and Shoots were inspired to take action after learning about the risks associated with household hazardous waste and e-waste. They learned that every year Americans improperly dispose of 192 million gallons of used motor oil into our environment. This is almost the same amount of oil leaked into the Gulf of Mexico by the 2010 BP oil spill. Americans dispose of almost 400 million electronic items per year and less than 20% of that e-waste is recycled. They also learned that recycling household hazardous waste and e-waste can mean a healthier environment with less air, water and soil pollution.
The Roots and Shoots teens were inspired to do something concrete to make a positive impact on the problem right here in Rhode Island. With help from their Roger William's Park Zoo team leader, Jen Karow, they reached out to the City of Providence recycling program manager, Bien Garcia, and Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation's Eco-Depot special waste program manager, Joe Rotella, to plan a free recycling day, "Ready, Set, Recycle!" for all Rhode Island residents.
On Saturday March 16th from 8 am – 1 pm, Rhode Island residents can bring their household hazardous waste and electronic waste to 700 Allens Avenue in Providence, where trained & certified workers will accept waste from vehicles at various stations. Roots and Shoots club members will be handing out a free Zoo admission ticket to every driver bringing in their waste for recycling.
"Partnering with RIRRC along with Roots and Shoots gives the city a great opportunity to prevent hazardous and bulky waste from ending up in the landfill," said Sheila Dormody, the Director of Sustainability for the City of Providence. "The Ready, Set, Recycle! event is a free and convenient opportunity for all of our residents to do some spring cleaning and help the environment at the same time."
"RIRRC is excited to team up with the City of Providence and the Roger Williams Park Zoo on this special partnership," said Joe Rotella, Special Waste Manager for RIRRC. "A collaboration of this kind always helps to increase awareness of our Eco-Depot and E-waste collections, a valuable service to all Rhode Islanders. We are also pleased to announce that we will also be accepting unwanted recycling bins and mattresses at the event, so we encourage all Rhode Islanders with these items to come down and take advantage of this collection."
Common types of household hazardous waste include oil-based paint, rechargeable batteries, mercury containing devices like thermometers, fluorescent bulbs, fertilizer, pool chemicals and automotive fluids. E-waste includes any electronic devices such as computer, printers, cell phones and associated wiring. For more information on the types of household hazardous waste and e-waste that can be accepted, please visit www.ecodepotri.org.

Manuel Luis Pellegrini Ripamonti (born 16 September 1953) is a Chilean manager and former footballer. His current club is La Liga side Málaga CF.
As a coach, he has managed teams mostly in Spain, Argentina, and Chile. San Lorenzo de Almagro obtained their first international title while Pellegrini was manager. He started coaching Universidad de Chile during the 1988 season, in which the team was relegated to Second Division. In 1990, Arturo Salah was appointed as the manager of the Chilean national football team, and he hired Pellegrini as his technical assistant, and manager of the under-20 team. He then coached to Palestino (1990–1992) and O'Higgins (1992–1993). In 1993, he became coach of Universidad Catolica, one of the most popular football clubs from Chile, where he had an amazing team with players such as Alberto Acosta and Nestor Gorosito, but he could only finish as runner-up during 1994 and 1995 seasons. Pellegrini coached Ecuadorian club LDU Quito to a national title in 1999, starting a tradition of coaches that followed him to the Ecuadorian team. He had a good presentation in Copa Libertadores with the team that put him in the eye of GMs of other South American teams. The years with Universidad Catolica were fundamental in his career as Nestor Gorosito, an Icon of San Lorenzo of Argentina, would later on recommend Pellegrini to the team and his recommendation would reap rewards when the Chilean coach led Los Cuervos to the 2001 Clausura title and the Copa Mercosur, South America's UEFA Cup equivalent. Pellegrini secured the Clausura championships at Los Milionarios in 2003, in which he utilised the talents of Andrés D'Alessandro, one of many Argentine playmakers to have been likened to Diego Maradona. His sale to Vfl Wolfsburg, however, proved a tough hurdle for Pellegrini to overcome and his side struggled to defend their status as Argentine champions in the 2003 Torneo Apertura. He quit his post at the end of the campaign.

Riverside County sheriff's deputies worked well into Thursday night, Oct. 11, to deal with the aftermath of an officer-involved shooting in San Jacinto that segued into a suspected hazardous-device investigation.
Several residences along Camino Los Baños were evacuated and Shaver Street blocked as sheriff's deputies and the bomb squad moved into the area.
According to a description of the incident by sheriff's Deputy Alberto Martinez, Highway Patrol officers attempted about 3 p.m. to stop a car for a traffic violation. The car did not stop for officers and they followed it to the intersection of Camino Los Baños and Shaver where it collided with another vehicle.
The driver of the pursued car got out and pointed a gun at the officer.
"An officer-involved shooting then took place," Martinez said.
The suspect then threw something in a yard, prompting the hazardous-device investigation.
San Jacinto City Manager Tim Hults, who was briefed by Police Chief Sue Trevino, said no one was injured in the shooting.
It was later determined that three people, the driver and his two passengers, had been taken into custody.
Authorities put up barricades and floodlights in the east San Jacinto neighborhood, and sheriff's deputies were telling motorists at 7 p.m. that it could be a couple of hours before the barricades came down.
The sheriff's bomb squad then showed up and the evacuations were ordered. Around 9 p.m., some of the barricades were moved closer to the site of the investigation and people living outside the new barricade perimeter were allowed back into their homes, but at 9:30 p.m., Martinez could not say when the rest of the residents might be able to return home.
Just after 9:30 p.m., Officer Darren Meyer, spokesman for the CHP's San Gorgonio Pass office, said that all information about the incident would come from the Sheriff's Department.
The pursuit and the hazardous device investigation caused two elementary schools to be briefly locked down about 15 minutes before classes were dismissed for the day. Children in athletics and an after-school program were kept at a middle school, until San Jacinto Unified School District authorities determined the nature of the incident and made alternate arrangements for reuniting children with their parents.
Connie Polhemus, director of student, community and personnel support for San Jacinto Unified School District, said once the district had clarification of the affected area, the lockdown was lifted at Hyatt and Estudillo elementaries and North Mountain Middle School.
"Our kids live there and our kids walk that direction," Polhemus said by phone, so district staff determined which children might be affected and "those children were held at the schools and parents were contacted to pick them up."
Phone calls were made to individual parents, and a general "parent link" automated telephone message went out to parents of students who attend those schools.

About Burkina Faso
USAID Burkina Faso focuses on building the resilience of vulnerable rural residents by:
- Strengthening the institutions and governmental bodies meant to serve them.
- Improving their productive opportunities; and
- Helping increase the capacity and accessibility of social services (particularly malaria prevention and control services) while ensuring access to more nutritious foods.
Burkina Faso and Niger form the two focus countries where USAID is carrying out its resilience agenda in the Sahel. In this effort, USAID is coordinating all of its programs with the Government of Burkina Faso (GoBF), other donors—particularly G8 member countries under a New Alliance for Nutrition and Food Security—and regional organizations such as the Permanent Interstate Committee for Drought Control in the Sahel (CILSS) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Key to the success of USAID's program is that Burkina remains a peaceful and secure country in a neighborhood that has experienced instability in the recent past. USAID builds on the many practices that Burkinabe have used to weather conflicts and natural shocks, helping them even better meeting these challenges through a wide range of activities geared to improve local governance, to strengthen the role of those who promote interethnic and religious dialogue and to help youth and women become more involved in local decision-making and cooperative action. Coupled with this work, USAID is supporting political party and civil society organizations that advocate for positive change and participation in elections and communicate goals through the media.
Although USAID Burkina Faso supports a myriad of activities in health, water and climate change operating under USAID's regional and central programming, it places the highest priority in this area on combatting malaria in this country, which is among the ten countries in the world with the highest malaria disease burdens. USAID Burkina Faso's health team leads programs to help the country implement its national malaria control strategic plan and achieve objectives to significantly reduce malaria morbidity and mortality, particularly among children under five and pregnant women who are the most vulnerable.
USAID Burkina Faso welcomes other partnerships with civil society, particularly private businesses, that are interested in furthering its key agenda in building resilience.

Fine choice for French 'mayor'
May 30, delegates from six French organizations elected Yvon Desaulniers Waterbury's French Mayor for the Day.
Mr. Desaulniers came to the United States from Canada in 1957 to learn English. In 1960, he married Lorraine St. Hilaire. They had six children, three of whom are still alive. In 1967, Mr. Desaulniers opened a one-man screw machine shop on South Main Street, across from St. Anne Church. By the mid-1970s, Mr. Desaulniers' company, Devon Precision Industries, had 65 employees. In 1974, he moved his family and company to Wolcott.

WITH A COMPLEX AND GROWING product line from seven different business units, Maritz Inc. found that traditional forms of training were not enough to fully educate its sales staff. So, with the help of its business unit, Maritz Learning, the St. Louis-based travel research and performance improvement company created its own certification program for sales professionals: Maritz Solutions Certification.
"The breadth of our product offering became much greater, so the product-knowledge piece needed to be expanded," says Steve Korbecki, vice president, sales, Maritz Learning. "That led to the whole certification process that Maritz has put in place from a sales perspective."
Internal certification programs are on the rise as a growing number of companies take training to the next level, especially for jobs with exposure to customers, such as product management and support, customer service, and sales. For example, Brainbench, a Chantilly, Va.-based employee certification and testing company, has seen a 30 percent increase in business in 2004 compared to 2003, according to Mike Littman, vice president, marketing. Driving the rush, he says, are internal certification programs, such as the one developed at Maritz.
"Companies want to know that their people are doing the right things," adds Judy Hale, founder of Hale Associates, a Downers Grove, Ill.-based performance improvement consulting firm and author of Performance-Based Certification: How to Design a Valid, Defensible, and Cost-Effective Program (Pfeiffer, 1999). "When you certify people, you also answer questions like what training they really need. If people are weak in an area, you can be more focused in the training you provide."
The Right Answers
In cases where companies want to ensure competency in proprietary products or services, internal programs are most valuable, says Hale. "Why should you certify me to know how to answer the phones?" she asks. "You want to know if I have the right answers."
There are several benefits to certifying employees, according to Hale. One, it demonstrates to customers that the employees are capable and qualified and that the company has done its due diligence with regard to training. Two, it holds employees accountable to certain standards, ensuring that they actually learned the training curriculum. It also lets a manager identify weaknesses and provide targeted supplemental training if an employee does fail a certification test. Three, it bolsters the training process by bringing trainers and executives to the table to discuss competency and define expectations and constraints.
At Maritz, the certification program encompasses three areas: knowledge of products; the capacity to communicate and apply product knowledge to customers; and the ability to leverage multiple products to solve client problems. The company had a sales training program in place before this, but it was too basic. "We felt the account managers needed more knowledge to go out and represent the product thoroughly, but more importantly, what to look for and ask the client about in terms of the key business results they are trying to drive," says Korbecki.
Maritz developed a self-paced curriculum — available online or in hard copy. The program was launched in late 2003, and so far, 80 percent of the approximately 75 account managers have earned their certification. "Our whole reason for doing this is very simple: It's called growth. Top-line growth," says Korbecki. In the first quarter, overall sales were up about 15 percent at the company, which he attributes in part to the certification program.
Of course, there are some deterrents to certification, mainly added cost. Dealing with incumbents who don't make the grade can also be a thorny issue, especially if the person in question is a veteran employee, says Hale. While not common, the potential for litigation is a concern, particularly in cases where the exams are knowledge-based as opposed to performance-based. Finally, there is the issue of unions, who largely support certification, says Hale, but may not back tests that they feel are unfair.

Dear Langston Hughes,
You knew pretty well how to talk to yourself, didn't you?
This is an enviable inborn talent, not a mere cultivated skill. Well, I guess one could cultivate it, too. But would that feel quite natural? Not really. No.
Although I cannot speak for you, I seem to hear you talking to yourself especially in your Simple stories. Simple, a Harlem dude you invented, talks in them to you. The stories always take the form of relaxed dialogue.
Well, then again, maybe he talks through you. He is a he. You are the I. We are your second you. While you two talk, we stand by.
The transparency isn't really tricky. No.
But how?
Because you start right out like that, then keep it up. Here is the way one Simple story starts: "'A hat is a woman—and a woman is a hat,' said Simple when I ran into him late one evening toward the end of the week in Paddy's."
Here is the beginning of another Simple story: "Leaning on the lamp post in front of the barber shop, Simple was holding up a copy of the Chicago Defender and reading about how a man who looks white had just been declared officially colored by an Alabama court."
And another story starts: "'You know my Aunt Pearl?' asked Simple."
Naturalness like this is rare. Stories are made up. Naturalness is not. It comes from who you are. You know you—and something else. By and by, maybe I will know it, too.
Meanwhile, I've got Simple. He is a chronicler of your waiting ear. To use an unnatural word, Simple is your interlocutor. You are his separate friendly self, as he is yours.
How uncommon might it be to feel so safely, wholly kept? Made whole by parts? Let out of a vast singular self? I, for one, cannot imagine it.
But there's more to it than I've said, because your Simple stories always make the moves of spoken essays, too. The essays walk along by means of conversation. It's Socratic, but more easygoing.
Your factual fictions also owe a little something to Simple's origins in your newspaper column "Here to Yonder," which got Simple as of February 13, 1943. The column began, without him, in the Chicago Defender on November 21, 1942. Simple was happily prolific. Six volumes of your Simple columns were published, beginning in 1950.
In the musical comedy produced in 1957 from your book Simple Takes a Wife, your play's official "character notes" take stock of Simple: "Simple tries hard to succeed, but the chips seldom fall just right. Yet he bounces like a rubber ball. He may go down, but he always bounds back up."
Always bounds back up? Your trite metaphor reminds me of the Simple story you called "Bop," which is original. In it, Simple and you discuss the differences between Re-Bop and Be-Bop for all of two pages.
Simple tells you, "Re-Bop was an imitation like most of the white boys play. Be-Bop is the real thing like the colored boys play."
Where does Bop come from, you ask him.
"From the police," said Simple.
"What do you mean, from the police?"
"From the police beating Negroes' heads," said Simple.
"Every time a cop hits a Negro with his billy club, that oldclub says, 'BOP! BOP! . . . BE-BOP . . . MOP! . . . BOP!'"
What's real about Simple is the intelligent sound of one voice spoken as two: you talking to yourself, as if that were enough. It was. It is. So true.

The Huffington Post UK | By Lucy Sherriff Posted: 30/04/2012 06:41 Updated: 30/04/2012 08:22
David Cameron has been asked to explain why he has referred culture secretary Jeremy Hunt to the Leveson inquiry and not the independent adviser on minister's interests.
Labour will call for the the prime minister to defend himself to MPs on Monday after he refused to launch inquiry into Hunt's alleged breach of the ministerial code.
The culture secretary has been accused of acting as a "cheerleader" for News Corporation's BSkyB takeover bid after the Leveson Inquiry published a raft of email exchanges between the company's chief lobbyist and Hunt's office.
Lord Justice Leveson has rebuffed Hunt's request to appear early so the issue will not be tackled in the inquiry until at least mid-May.
It is also thought Leveson will not rule on whether Hunt has broken the ministerial code in his dealings with Rupert Murdoch's company, adding pressure to Cameron to launch an official independent inquiry.
Labour have now insisted Cameron appears in parliament to personally explain why he is "trying to hide behind the Leveson inquiry".
"With parliament breaking up on Tuesday, Cameron must come to the Commons and explain to the British people why he is ducking his responsibilities to enforce the ministerial code," the party said.
But Cameron insisted he did not duck his responsibilities for "one second".
"I think we need to be absolutely clear that the ministerial code is for me, the behaviour of ministers is for me," he said.
"If ministers have behaved badly, broken the ministerial code, it is my responsibility either to ask Alex Allan's advice about what should happen or to take action myself and say they can't remain in the government."
On Sunday the prime minister said Hunt's special adviser Adam Smith had been right to resign over his contacts with News Corporation lobbyist Frederic Michel, which were "too close, too frequent".
But he added: "I don't think it would be right in every circumstance if a special adviser gets something wrong to automatically sack the minister."
Labour accused Hunt of having misled parliament when he told the Commons last year he was releasing "all the documents relating to all the meetings, all the consultation documents, all the submissions we received, all the exchanges between my department and News Corporation".
Last week a raft of emails between Rupert Murdoch's company and Hunt's office came to light for the first time - exposing the culture secretary to damaging allegations that he supported News Corporation's bid when he was supposed to be impartial.
Labour's deputy leader and shadow culture secretary Harriet Harman said it was "already evident that Jeremy Hunt has breached the ministerial code".
"Not only has he breached the ministerial code in many, many ways, but even more seriously than that when he was responsible for acting quasi-judicially on a hugely important takeover bid of £8 billion he did not act impartially.
"I just think it says everything about David Cameron that he is refusing to refer him to Sir Alex Allan, to investigate all these breaches of the ministerial code."

City derby win breaks TV viewing records
- 03 May 2012 13:34
- Posted by Tim Oscroft
City's epic win over United in the Manchester derby has broken TV audience records at home and abroad.
Viewing figures for live coverage of the game last Monday peaked at 4.4M in the UK, a million more than previous record set by Arsenal v Man United in 2002/03.
Proving that interest in the Blues has truly gone global, ESPN's average figure was at 1M viewers in the US, some way past their previous best of 610,000 for a Premier League game shown live on the other side of the Atlantic.

MONTROSE – Do you have lots of swagger, and an affinity for zombie movies? Can you walk with your head down, swaying your body from side to side? If all answers are yes, the producers of I Am Alone, the zombie movie now filming in and around Montrose, are looking for you and all your friends to report to Centennial Plaza this Saturday morning, to play like you're undead.
Filming is halfway completed, said Executive Producer Jerrold McKinley Ivery, saying he appreciates the "outpouring of love and support" from Montrose residents has helped the film come together.
"It's almost been overwhelming," Ivery said. "We would not have been able to accomplish what he have without the support, generosity and charity of the citizens of Montrose.
Opting to shoot in Montrose because of its "remoteness," Ivery said, the film tells the story of television host and survivalist Jacob Fitts, played by actor Gareth David-Lloyd, and his producer Adam Levine (Rory Zacher) and cameramen (Mason Riley and Gunner Wright), as they set out to shoot their popular survival show, I Am Alone, deep in the Colorado Rockies.
David-Lloyd's character is left alone for seven days, just as a global viral outbreak begins to consume the human race.
Another factor in choosing Montrose, Ivery said, was that Montrose resident Lynette Bean, the mother of prop master Jason Bean, gave permission to shoot on her land.
Donated campers, trailers and ATVs have helped the crew film and operate in the area.
"It's really great. It's was something that was divine intervention," Ivery said.
On Tuesday the crew filmed on a location, just located off Holly Way, near a cornfield, drawing an interested crowd.
On Wednesday, the crew filmed near Cerro Summit; starting Friday, I Am Alone will befilming in the downtown area. Tonight, the crew is filming a night scene at Cerro Summit.
"It has been absolutely fantastic," said Montrose resident Matthew Landt, who is a volunteer zombie for the film.
Landt said the crew, make-up artists and actors have been great to work with. The first-time movie actor says tips from the actors have helped him be a better zombie.
"I like zombie movies," Landt said, naming Evil Dead and Zombieland as favorites.
On Friday, Aug. 23, Main Street will be closed, 7 a.m.-6 p.m. for filming, from Townsend to Lot avenues. The call-time for extras is 7:30 a.m.; wrap-time is 8 p.m. Producers said they will need people throughout the day, but not for the entire shooting time.
On Saturday, Aug. 24, I Am Alone will close Main Street once again,7 a.m.-1 p.m., from Townsend to Park avenues. Call-time for extras is 7:30 a.m. with a wrap-time of 7:30 p.m.
"We need a lot of zombies on Saturday," said Ivery, who anticipates using up to 80 extras. In an aside to actors hoping to get cast, "Somebody who is enthusiastic. Someone with good swagger who can walk with their head down with a sway. South First St. will also be closed Saturday, 2-7 p.m., from Townsend to Park avenues for shooting.
No street closures are scheduled for Sunday, but interviews will be conducted along Main Street. Filming will take place Sunday, as well, with a 6:30 p.m. call-time, and an estimated 4 or 5 a.m. wrap. For information, email Suzy Beck, email@example.com.
Shooting (with extras) takes place Monday, Aug. 26 (11 a.m.-8 p.m.) and Wedneday, Aug. 28 (9:30 a.m.-9:30 p.m.), as well. for extras is 11 a.m. with a wrap time of 8 p.m. Producers note they will be needing a lot of zombies for shooting.
There will be public viewing locations for interested members of the public. For more information about the film, please visit iamalonethemovie.com or facebook.com/abstractforces

Coast Rapid Response 3.9 Folding Knife 3.9" Drop Point 7Cr17 Stainless Steel Blade Polymer Handle Black
Product Family #: 3187834240
Suggested Products
Product Information
The Coast Rapid Response Folding Knife is a solid knife that can handle any task. The Blade Assist Technology uses a friction-reducing roller-bearing mechanism to allow the blade to open quickly and smoothly, while reducing spring load on all internal blade-assist components. This allows you to open the blade easily with one hand. The Max-Lock locking mechanism acts as a safety button on the side of the knife's handle that can lock the blade in both the open and closed positions. This keeps your fingers clear of the blade while closing the knife. The 7Cr17 Stainless Steel blade is corrosion resistant, and easy to maintain an edge on. The textured fiberglass-filled nylon handle scales are easy to hold on to and very durable.

Health and Wellbeing Campus, Havant one step closer
Tuesday, 09 July 2013
A Health and Wellbeing Campus for Havant is a significant step closer. The campus development will offer Extra-Care assisted living for older people and nursing beds providing intermediate care and re-ablement care.
Hampshire County Council has agreed to start the procurement exercise for the delivery of the Health and Wellbeing Campus at Oak Park. With an overall site of almost 2 hectares the minimum scheme that will be provided will comprise 50 affordable Extra Care assisted living units and a 60 bed nursing home, with the potential to deliver much more.
Havant has the second largest proportion of Hampshire's over 65 population and this is expected to rise by 17% by 2020 (from 26,500 to 31,000 people). These developments will help to provide much needed additional capacity to meet the growing need in the area.
With both Extra-Care apartments and re-ablement beds in nursing homes focused on maintaining and increasing individuals independence the opportunity to develop these two new services will go a major way in widening choice for older people in Havant.
Extra-Care assisted living helps people who might otherwise have required residential care to live in a home of their own. Extra-Care assisted living provides people with their own individual apartment coupled with access to communal and shared space. Schemes include both one and two bed units to enable couples with differing levels of need to remain living together. Twenty-four hour care and support is available on-site, to be used progressively by people as their needs increase, delaying or avoiding early or unnecessary entry to residential care alternatives.
Re-ablement placements commissioned in the independent sector and County Council run nursing homes, help people to regain their independence, perhaps after a stay in hospital, with the aim of returning home with an appropriate package of care where needed.
Hampshire County Council is to invest £45 million over a decade to stimulate the development of Extra Care assisted living. New schemes across the whole county are being explored to add to the four schemes that have already opened.
Councillor Anna McNair Scott, Hampshire County Council's Executive Member for Adult Social Care, said: "I am pleased that these exciting plans for a Health and Wellbeing Campus are progressing.
"The Council is modernising the way it delivers adult social care so it better meets the needs and aspirations of older people. Extra Care and re-ablement are key parts of this and offer clear benefits to service users and their relatives.
"People living in Extra Care developments can stay independent for longer, living in a home of their own safe in the knowledge that the care and support they need is available on site. As well as providing a safe environment, Extra Care housing means couples with different care needs are able to stay together. It is also more cost effective than residential care, as people meet their own housing costs or are supported through funding such as housing benefit.
"The short term care offered through re-ablement is designed to help people get back on their feet and into a position where they are able to go home after a stay in hospital. It also helps identify any ongoing support and care they may need, the level of which is often less than had they been discharged without re-ablement."
The procurement is being carried out by Hampshire County Council but includes an option to procure 20 beds within the nursing home on behalf of the South East Hampshire Clinical Commissioning Group (SHE CCG).
Dr Barbara Rushton, who chairs the SEH CCG, said: "Delivering improved healthcare services to the frail elderly and patients with dementia is one of our key priorities - and these much-needed nursing beds will provide high quality facilities for some of the people who most need them.
"The Health and Wellbeing Campus will be another marvellous facility neighbouring the Oak Park Community Clinic, which we opened shortly before Christmas. I believe it makes a strong statement to local residents about some of the new the investment going into health services in their area.
"The clinic itself provides a comprehensive range of services including outpatient and community services across a range of specialities, diagnostics such as x-ray, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry and children's outpatient and community services.
"This has been a major NHS project to provide local services for local people- and it's one we are very proud of."

How can you get the most from your meeting or incentive Web site? What can you tell your Web designers to maximize the site's user-friendliness and usefulness?
Most important, the design team should follow these three golden rules: 1) Make sure the site is easy to find; 2) See that it provides interesting information presented in a user-friendly and visually compelling format; and 3) Give visitors a reason to return.
Rule 1: Make Sure It's Easy to Find An average of 40 percent to 50 percent of all Web site hits come from search engines, the electronic card catalogs of the Web. Make sure that your site is listed with the five search engines that represent more than 90 percent of Internet traffic: Yahoo (www.yahoo.com), Excite (www.excite.com), Infoseek (www.infoseek.com), Lycos (www.lycos.com), AltaVista (www.altavista.com), and HotBot (www.hotbot.com).
The goal is for people to easily find your Web address (URL) by using key words when they do a search, which means that the URL should show up in the top 10 listings of search engine results. If your site is not coming up to the top 10, searchenginewatch.com has lots of information about how to improve your ranking.
Also, include the Web site address on all printed promotions, brochures, letterhead, and even business cards.
Rule 2: Make It Attractive Once people have found your site, you must entice them to explore it. Here are some ways to draw in visitors:
*Home page--First impressions are everything and your home page is your viewers' first impression. It should be cleanly designed, welcome visitors, have a central focal point, and succinctly state what the site is about.
*Design consistency--There should be a common look and feel throughout the site. Each page should have the same fonts, color scheme, and overall layout.
*Good navigation--A navigation bar that appears on each page of the site makes it easy to explore. Follow the "three-click rule"--that is, any page on the site should not be more than three clicks away.
*Speed--If the site's pages don't come up quickly on the screen, they won't be read--no matter how spectacular the graphics are. The opening page shouldn't take more than 15 seconds to appear.
Rule 3: Bring Them Back Again A meeting or incentive Web site is different from a company site because, of course, people want to return for the information they need. Nonetheless, consider ways you can regularly add fresh content or new features.
For example, Sun Microsystems (www.sun.com) is a terrific example of a content-driven site. A "hot topics" box on the company's home page highlights upcoming meetings, as well as the latest company issues. The meeting pages provide lots of continuously updated information about company events and meetings and contain streaming video clips of keynote presenters from past events.
Another way to add interest to a Web site is personalization. For example, qualifiers who enter Xerox Corp.'s Web site for its President's Club incentive are greeted with a personalized banner running along the bottom of the screen like a ticker-tape, saying "Congratulations.... You are a winner!" The registration form has already been filled out with the person's name, title, home address, work address, and other information.

More than 100 facilities in the USA, Canada, Mexico, and the Atlantic/Caribbean made the grade and were named Golden Links Certified courses. These courses all meet the basic criteria for providing groups a quality golfing experience. No attempt has been made to rank courses-groups should evaluate and choose golfing facilities based on their specific needs and budgets.
Golden Links Certified Criteria * The quality of the golf course
* The quality of the golf design
* The condition of the golf course
* The quality of the pro shop
* The friendliness and capability of the pro shop staff
* The ability and cooperation of staff in hosting golf events

Review Details
8" Square Rainshower Head & Small Square Arm
Product Review (submitted on February 12, 2013):
The product that I purchased was (2) 8" Square One-Function Rain-shower (Shower head and Arms). Let me tell you something. I was scared when I ordered it because it looked so good on the web-site, I just knew that I was going to be disappointed. I had no idea that (what you see is truly what you get)! It arrived within 3 to 4 days and when I open it up, I was impressed with the look, and the craftsmanship of this product. In fact, I just had my contractor today installed both shower head and arms. My contractor had no problem with the installation. Everything was sent to get the job done. However, you must know what you are doing.There may be some modifications, which was in my case, but having a good contractor who knows what to do, makes it easy. I want to thank Hudson Reed for this product. It is truly Bad to the Bone!
